Texmaco Rail & Engineering has secured orders worth over Rs. 243 crores from the Mumbai Railway Vikas Corporation (MRVC) to install power supply on two routes – the 3rd and 4th lines from Virar to Dahanu, and the new suburban corridor between Panvel and Karjat. Under the contract, Bright Power – a division of Texmaco and a hyper-specialised engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) division – will be responsible for design, construction, installation, testing, and commissioning of the ambitious project.
Bright Power will construct two 25KV traction substations and other associated infrastructure for necessary sectioning and sub-sectioning on the lines. This is meant to ensure reliable power supply as well as operational convenience for the new lines.
Mr Indrajit Mookherjee, Vice Chairman of Texmaco, expressed optimism that the deal will put Texmaco on an exponential growth track. “We are happy for the opportunity to work with MRVC. Deploying Bright Power’s specialised strengths towards building custom infrastructure in Maharashtra is a reflection of our larger growth strategy, letting us reinforce our position as an enterprise that goes beyond supplying to Indian Railways. I am confident that we will witness great performance, as well as secure high profits,” he said.
